Christening venues

Christening parties tend to be daytime, family-heavy and full of small children, so the best rooms are close to the church, easy to get to and relaxed about buggies and noise. Community halls, hotel suites and pub function rooms with a kitchen all work well.

What to look for

  • Distance from the church, so guests can drive or walk straight over
  • Afternoon availability, usually from around 1pm
  • Space for buggies, a corner for nappy changes and somewhere for kids to run
  • Food that suits all ages: a buffet is usually easiest
  • Step-free access for older relatives

Questions people ask

How long is a christening party?

Most run for three to four hours after the service. Ask venues for an afternoon slot rather than a full evening: it's often cheaper.

Can I bring my own christening cake?

Almost always. Some venues charge a small cake-cutting fee, so ask when you enquire.
